Liang Chi was a brother of Lu Yanzhou’s sister-in-law. In brief, they were relatives.

Liang Chi was good looking and wanted to be a star, so naturally Lu Yanxing and Lu Yanzhou as bosses of an entertainment company would help him.

However, Liang Chi was spoiled since childhood. He kept making trouble after he entered the circle by offending directors or causing scandals. Funny thing was the only one that he feared was his brother-in-law, Lu Yanxing. Every time when he was in trouble, he could only ask Lu Yanzhou to smooth things out.

Lu Yanzhou didn’t want their private space to be disturbed, so he turned off his cell phone and watched the show quietly with Fang Qiao.

Fang Qiao, by comparison, could hardly keep his cool. Now that he knew about the fact, he felt quite regretful for being jealous for so long over a nonexistent matter. Mentally troubled, he was absent-minded during the second half of the show.

After watching the show, Lu Yanzhou didn’t shamelessly ask to stay. Instead, he stood up from the sofa and said goodbye.

Fang Qiao was lost in thought. He was taken by surprise seeing Lu Yanzhou leaving so fast. Watching Lu walking near the door, he grabbed an edge of Lu Yanzhou’s clothes in haste.

Lu Yanzhou asked gently, “What’s wrong?”

Fang Qiao’s cheek turned slightly red. He hesitated in speaking with his head down, “It’s late…How about…staying overnight?”

Lu Yanzhou took a deep breath and was ecstatic in secret. But he, being a gentleman, held back his urge and said righteously, “No. Rule number two says intimate behaviors are not allowed unless Fang Qiao agrees.”

Fang Qiao, “…”

Now he knew what it was like to be hoist with his own petard.

An implicit sense of loss was on Fang Qiao’s face, and Lu Yanzhou agilely caught it. Lu opened his mouth again with exceeding smile, “So can Fang Qiao please allow me to kiss him?”

Fang Qiao’s heart skipped a beat. He raised his head with reserve, pretending to be reluctant, “Ok, just one kiss.”

Getting a consent, Lu Yanzhou grasped Fang Qiao’s waist, held him in arms and lowered his head for sealing with a kiss on his soft lips.

The gentle breath enveloped Fang Qiao. He closed his eyes quietly and felt himself melting with his tiptoes rubbing excitedly in the slippers, wishing it would last longer.

But Lu Yanzhou acted as his words. He, very unwilling to part though, didn’t push it. He left after saying goodbye to Fang Qiao. Thus, he became more reliable in Fang Qiao’s heart. Fang Qiao thought that he could reward Lu with one more kiss.

By noon the next day, quite unexpected, Lu Yanzhou didn’t deliver lunch. He texted Fang Qiao that he was occupied by matters and didn’t show up until cake shop was closed in the evening.

It was raining heavily. They got completely stuck on traffic on the way to Fang Qiao’s home and the car couldn’t move a bit. Fang Qiao felt bored and switched on the music player in Lu Yanzhou’s car.

When hearing a familiar prelude, Fang Qiao was stunned.

Lu Yanzhou explained, “You shared the song with me last time. I liked it so I downloaded it here.”

Fang Qiao was very proud. He sang it live for Lu Yanzhou with the backing track.

Lu Yanzhou praised, “You can be a singer. You have a talent in music.”

Fang Qiao thought for a while and said, “Forget about it. I’m not ambitious. All I want is to open cake shops and make some money, and then live a steady life.”

Lu Yanzhou smiled. He looked Fang Qiao in the eye and said, “Ok, do whatever you like. If you like singing, I’ll help you release an album. If you like making cakes, I’ll open shops for you. Whatever you want to do, I’ll be with you.”

Fang Qiao was touched by Lu Yanzhou’s unexpected confession. He sipped his lips and felt like interlocking their ten fingers when he saw Lu Yanzhou’s fingers on the steering wheel.

Fang Qiao held out his hand to Lu Yanzhou quietly, but then he heard Lu say, “If only Liang Chi could think the way you do.”

Fang Qiao followed his words and asked, “What about his trouble?”

Lu Yanzhou answered, “He’ll be fine after being spanked.”

Fang Qiao retracted his hand that reached halfway.

In the evening, Fang Qiao planned to post a statement of stepping away from the showbiz on Weibo. However, he found that he was well received after yesterday’s broadcast.

He was provisionally arranged in the show because of the attention gained from a scandal, so there was no public persona set for him to sell, instead he acted freely and played out his persistent and cute nature completely, which attracted many fans.

Fang Qiao had more than two million fans in Weibo now, more than that of his hottest time in the boy group. He stopped typing and couldn’t help wondering whether he might become a mainstream celebrity in the future if he didn’t quit…

On second thought, he had nothing to regret. Many people were floating in the circle. Even though he didn’t achieve much, he didn’t experience dark times as well. More importantly, he got a potential boyfriend.

Thinking of Lu Yanzhou’s words in the car, Fang Qiao’s heart became tender. The thought of it caused a faint smile on his face. He typed his statement word by word.

A few minutes after the statement, many people left comments and shared this feed. New fans who just followed him felt quite pity, and longtime fans expressed that they fully respected Baby Qiao’s will.

At the night, Lu Yanzhou also shared the feed to his moments:

“Baby Qiao feels free to fly, Baby Zhou will stay with you forever (heart emoji).”
